Download or read book An Equal Burden written by Jessica Meyer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Equal Burden is the first scholarly study of the Army Medical Services in the First World War to focus on the roles and experiences of the men of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC). Though they were not professional medical caregivers, they were called upon to provide urgent medical care and, as non-combatants, were forbidden from carrying weapons. Their role in the war effort was quite unique and warranting of further study. Structured both chronologically and thematically, An Equal Burden examines the work that RAMC rankers undertook and its importance to the running of the chain of medical evacuation. It additionally explores the gendered status of these men within the medical, military, and cultural hierarchies of a society engaged in total war. Through close readings of official documents, personal papers, and cultural representations, Meyer argues that the ranks of the RAMC formed a space in which non-commissioned servicemen, through their many roles, defined and redefined medical caregiving as men's work in wartime.

Book Synopsis The End of a Global Pox by : Bob H. Reinhardt
Download or read book The End of a Global Pox written by Bob H. Reinhardt and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the mid-twentieth century, smallpox had vanished from North America and Europe but continued to persist throughout Africa, Asia, and South America. In 1965, the United States joined an international effort to eradicate the disease, and after fifteen years of steady progress, the effort succeeded. Bob H. Reinhardt demonstrates that the fight against smallpox drew American liberals into new and complex relationships in the global Cold War, as he narrates the history of the only cooperative international effort to successfully eliminate a human disease. Unlike other works that have chronicled the fight against smallpox by offering a "biography" of the disease or employing a triumphalist narrative of a public health victory, The End of a Global Pox examines the eradication program as a complex exercise of American power. Reinhardt draws on methods from environmental, medical, and political history to interpret the global eradication effort as an extension of U.S. technological, medical, and political power. This book demonstrates the far-reaching manifestations of American liberalism and Cold War ideology and sheds new light on the history of global public health and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victory for Progress in Mental Medicine: Defeat of Reactionaries, the History of an Intrigue I then learned for the first time that they were or ganized and conspiring against me, and I determined to prove to my own satisfaction the truth of what this member of the coterie had told me, and to use him, not as they had done, to spread lies and false propaganda, but to get at the truth. When they were having secret meetings, working under cover, planning, inventing false stories and spreading them in the most insidious way to bring about my ruin and the disgrace Of my family, the least I felt that I could do was to take a personal part, and, unbeknown to them, listen to their vile insinuations. Later, I had the cynical satisfaction of receiving their brazen denials of the very words I had heard them utter with their own lips.

Book Synopsis Nelson's Surgeon by : Laurence Brockliss
Download or read book Nelson's Surgeon written by Laurence Brockliss and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the significant role played by the health and fitness of the British crews in Nelson's defeat of the Combined Fleet in 1805, little has been written hitherto about the naval surgeon in the era of the long war against France. This book is intended to fill the gap. Sir William Beatty (1773-1842) was surgeon of the Victory at Trafalgar. An Ulsterman from Londonderry, he had joined the navy in 1791. Before being warranted to Nelson's flagship, Beatty had served upon ten other warships, and survived a yellow fever epidemic, court martial, and shipwreck to share in the capture of a Spanish treasure ship. After Trafalgar, he became Physician of the Channel Fleet, based at Plymouth, and eventually Physician to Greenwich Hospital, where he served until his retirement in 1838. As the book makes clear in drawing upon an extensive prosopographical database, Beatty's career until 1805 was representative of the experience of the approximately 2,000 naval surgeons who joined the navy in the course of the war. The first part of the biography provides a detailed and scholarly introduction to the professional education, training, and work of the naval surgeon. But after 1805 Beatty became a member of the service elite, and his career becomes interesting for other reasons. In the final decades of his life, Beatty was far more than a senior naval physician. As a Fellow of the Royal Society, director of the Clerical and Medical Insurance Company, and director of the London to Greenwich Railway, he was a prominent figure in London's business and scientific community, who used his growing wealth to build a large collection of books and manuscripts. His later life is testimony to the much wider contribution that some naval and army medical officers made to the development of the new Britain of the nineteenth century. In Beatty's case, too, the contribution was original. By publishing in 1807 his carefully crafted Authentic Narrative of the Death of Lord Nelson , he was instrumental in forging the myth of the hero's last hours, which has become a part of the national consciousness and has helped to define for generations the concept of Britishness.

Download or read book Victory written by MD Phd Stephen C Lloyd and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six iconic journeys of healthcare innovators illustrate the forces that stymie medical progress. The focus is on each leader's long and arduous road to redemption. Their stories are illustrative of the forces that facilitate impacts that could substantially improve the quality of many lives. This series can be a blueprint for the American people to "Drain the Swamp" in the healthcare space. The recent election reflects an undercurrent of discontent. Can the election presage an era of innovation as not seen since the American Revolution? We look at a world begging for just such opportunities to improve life. There is a palpable zeal in the cadence of the oppressed. The impacts from removing the albatross of provincial thinking that has long stymied our vaulted American creative genius are manifold. The $100 billion War on Cancer has been a dismal failure. The first of the six visionaries cured childhood leukemia in the 1960s. The last declared victory over colorectal cancer earlier in this decade. What has been the response of the medical community? That 50,000 still die each year of the leading cause of cancer deaths among non-smokers (colorectal cancer) answers the question emphatically. Why, when 30,000 lives could be saved annually, has medicine turned a deaf ear to the revolutionary improvements in the mechanics of colonoscopy? The answer emerges from the pages of the book's evaluation of the heroes' path. The journeys comprise components that empower mere mortals to complete a transformational (and intended) purpose on earth. Some might claim that these leaders listened to their inner souls and in the process of maintaining a deliberate sense of purpose, found congruence with the will of God. We hope to apply lessons learned in these contexts toward the saving of untold thousands of lives, both physically and spiritually. Volume 1 delves into the history and remains factual. Volume 2 builds upon the foundation established by these leaders and fanaticizes an ideal environment to implement change. The dream team conquers cancer in Truth & Fiction. The opposition faced often seemed insurmountable, made worse once the malicious intent emerged as the motivation for their efforts. Each protagonist serves as an example of the Herculean efforts necessary to oppose the rising tide of conformity. Representative leaders in highly disruptive innovations experience similar obstructions. All six seemingly disparate tales join in a focus on a singular prize: Victory over cancer. That the culmination of these efforts results in a spiritual transformation, we draw parallels from religious, literary, psychologic and artistic sources. The Stations of the Cross distill the passion of Christ. We have selected the most relevant twelve of the various incarnations of The Stations in an effort to compare our six innovators along similar stages in their respective evolutions. We share the core belief that we can win the War on Cancer with an entirely new paradigm. It will not be new drugs, but earlier detection through technology that will turn the tide. Victory is within our grasp. We declare Victory, one cancer at a time. Fifty years ago childhood leukemia, today colorectal, tomorrow...
